Ban the sale of rawhide products for dogs in the UK.

Petition Details

Rawhide is a widely available product for dogs. However, many people buy these products without realising the potential risks involved, such as intestinal blockage, or choking. We should ban the sale of dangerous rawhide products to prevent harm to dogs.

This webpage explains in further detail why it can be harmful. One reason being, that it does not have to adhere to health regulations due to not being classed as a food.
